The term loader applies to two distinct components under OS/2:
OS2LDR
This is the OS2KRNL loader. One of its functions
is to load the OS2KRNL module at boot time. After the system has booted
OS2LDR provides the CBIOS layer for the kernel.
System Loader
This is a
component of the kernel. It is responsible for loading program modules,
DLLs, Device Drivers and File System Drivers.
The logging facility discussed in this section applies to the System Loader.
